Answer:
(A) 2 3/10
(B) 1 7/15
Step-by-step explanation:
(A) Add the gallons he collected together to get the total amount of milk he started with: 4/5 + 6/8 + 3/4 = 2 3/10 gallons of milk.
(B) Take that number, 2 3/10, and subtract the amount of milk he has left to get the amount of milk he used. 2 3/10 - 5/6 = 1 7/15
Answer:
x = friends that paid discount price = 8
y = friends that paid regular price = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = friends that paid discount price
y = friends that paid regular price
x + y = 12 (1)
6x + 8y = 80 (2)
From (1)
x = 12 - y
Substitute x = 12 - y into (2)
6x + 8y = 80 (2)
6(12 - y) + 8y = 80
72 - 6y + 8y = 80
- 6y + 8y = 80 - 72
2y = 8
y = 8/2
y = 4
Substitute y = 4 into (1)
x + y = 12 (1)
x + 4 = 12
x = 12 - 4
x = 8
x = friends that paid discount price = 8
y = friends that paid regular price = 4
